stopping bg sound

[Seabone]

Hi there,
I have a site in HTML where the mainpage (done in frames)bg sound loops indefinitely. I have an audio page with links to loops. When you click on a loop, both sounds play over each other.
How can I stop the bg sound when the other sound begins playing and then, perhaps, continue the bg sound afterwards (or not).
Thanks

Have a look at Retrieving and Using Sounds in this document:

Of course, you could allways get in to Flash... And do something like this:

For IE 5.5 at least. . .

Set the bgsound autostart to off and then write a JavaScript function that starts to loop the sound onLoad.

How?

Embed your sounds (all with autostart off) and give them all an ID.

You can use the play() method in a function thus:

function functionname(){
document.all.soundid.play();
}

Use this to write some scripts that turn the looping of the backgound sound off when you play the other sounds and vv.

Hope it helps.
